Lodi is replaced by Correa for Atletico
It looks like Simeone is moving Carrasco and Lemar to attacking wing back positions.

Another poor outing from Atletico
And they leave the field to some choice words from their fans.
45+3'
Not too far away from a third
A lovely hit from Alderete from outside the box is only a yard or so over the bar.

GOAL FOR VALENCIA!
Duro pokes the ball home past Oblak from close range. It was a little fortunate how Lato's ball slipped through Soler and set up the striker perfectly and he made no mistake.

Suarez heads over
It would have been a miracle header really as the free kick found him way beyond the back post and he could not guide it anywhere close to the target.

Another Valencia caution
This time goalscorer Musah for a ridiculous high boot from a lying down position which caught Giminez.

Two more cards dished out
The referee is not having any back chat and Hermoso and Foulquier have both been cautioned.
38'
The home fans want Correira sent off
He stood on the heels of Joao Felix but it seemed incidental.
35'
Soler's corner creates a chance for Duro
But his touch at the bck post is awful and Oblak claims comfortably.
32'
Soler shoots from outside the area
But Oblak comfortably stops the shot.

A booking for Koke
A poor challenge on Soler. They will check if poor enough for a red - but rightly a booking is deemed sufficient.

GOAL FOR VALENCIA!
A fine finish from Musah. He cut in from the left flank and drove low powerfully past Oblak inside the neat post.

Correira goes into the book
It was for a foul on Koke.
13'
Vrsaljko puts in a dangerous cross
But Joao Felix on the stretch can't quite divert it home and the flag went up anyway.
10'
Suarez shoots on goal
But it is comfortably stopped, Carrasco's poor attempted half-volley came all the way across the area to the Uruguayan but though his shot shaped like it might curl inside the far post it didn't quite have the power.
6'
Lemar fizzes a shot at goal
From 25 yards out on the left hand side of the field but the keeper watches it go wide of the near post.
5'
Some nice early touches from Joao Felix
But no threat to Valencia yet.

The Wanda Metropolitano is in full voice...
Can the side show their best form. It hasn't been a given this year.

Will a 14-game streak end tonight?
That is how long it has been since Valencia beat Atletico in October 2014. For a victory in Madrid we have to go back 11 years.
